Roxanne is Gettting Married!

We got the cutest wedding announcement ever from Roxanne and her husband-to-be..."Mikey". It's a magnet. So adorable. The wedding is Next June27th. It sounds like they are super compatible and we wish them all the best!


Today was semi recovery day from a hectic weekend that included working at the Eastampton Fun Day in Buttonwood Park on Saturday and enjoying a delightful birthday party for our friend Terri on Sunday.


Today was the H&R Block class in Delran. It was good, I visited DIS while I was in town and tried to get Carli Lloyd ice cream at Lindy Hops, but it didn't open til 3, so I paid for my 2008 membership of Triple A and talked possible new homeowners insurance with Pete.

Jenn and Jassy never called back to discuss plans, but we are ready for anything!

Can you spell half a trillion dollars?

Stocks have climbed a bit up the cellar stairs...in anticipation of government intervention with a yet to be finalized plan to take over all the bad debts. At least that's what it sounds like. I await further decisions and disclosure.

My golf class is over and Tom and I went out golfing today. Am I better? Maybe.... We played with a very nice man named Ed with a radio voice and a Borgata shirt. (He said it was given to him for free, but he figures if you count the gambling he did to get it, it was the most expensive shirt he owns!)

My tax class is going well, with some new twists. We had a sub teacher Thursday who was awesome, and it turns out our venue is not available next week, so we have to go on other days or nights, or the same, but in Delran...or anywhere else they are teaching. Maybe I'll get to visit DIS again!

Yes, I went there on the 17th, Constitution Day, met the new principal, and got to see (and photograph) some of my old (and met some new) friends. (I am so hoping they will start utilizing the private staff website more!

We danced Wednesday and Friday and I am looking forward to working at the Eastampton Fun Day tomorrow and attending Terri's birthday celebration at a restaurant in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Talking about birthdays, Jennifer is coming out (with Jassy) for the 10th anniverasary of her 4oth birthday and we just can't wait to see her/(them)!

A Bad Day for the Stock Market

500 points later, we looked up with deep despair. 'Nuff said.

So other than that.....the week-end went well. A lot of dancing and an interesting dinner with the brunch group at a Moroccan place in Dresher, PA, complete with dancing girl and finger food and music. Lots of food. Everything was great except the shish kebob course...the meat was overcooked to a level that can only be described as inedible.

I rendezvous-ed by phone with both Suzanne and Conni re retiree luncheons for the assorted E.A.'s and look forward to attending them.

This week is: tax classes, golf classes, meet with Chip (that's timely!), dentist, working Eastampton Fun Day, and birthday lunch with Terri in Philadelphia.

Remind me to check and make sure South Carolina got my speed trap speeding ticket cashiers check. And in case anyone is interested in giving money to the American Heart Association (I am doing the HeartWalk on October 18th) my official page is: http://heartwalk.kintera.org/fallsouthernnj/rosallee or just send a check for any amount to me made out to the American Heart Association. (Don't feel obligated.)


Doreen and George went to one of the last games to be played at Yankee Stadium before the new one is built and the old one is no more.

That reminds me....how about those Phillies???

Fall Days, Full Days

I have been keeping busy this Fall so far!

Yesterday for example, I went to my (third) H&R Block class (turns out I did too much homework--and finished through what isn't due til next Tuesday...It is really fun and interesting), then the Heartwalk Coordinators meeting at BCEA, my second golf lessons class (Interestingly, I found out at the first session that Mike the golf pro/teacher is the boyfriend of the nice lady I befriended at Prospectors a few days earlier. He recognized me as the person who helped her learn a dance before the Keith Anderson concert Saturday night! Small world!) and finally 90 minutes or so of dancing at Prospectors.

The day before was gym, golf (for the second time this month for me!), and Prospectors.
The day before that was tax prep. class, and first golf lesson.
See what I mean? And I didn't even hear from Contact yet regarding the Fall training with them.

Meanwhile, the stock market keeps going down (even the few up days aren't helping much), we are agonizing over the Long Term Health Care Insurance decision, I went to the bank for the Cashier's check to pay the (grrr) SC speeding trap ticket, and Bluegreen tempted us into another Florida vacation at The Fountains in Orlando (sometime in the next 12 months).

Still on the agenda: meeting with Chip the 16th, Terri's 25x2 party the 21st , dinner at Marrakesh with the brunch group Saturday , working at the Eastampton Fun Day on the 20th, collecting donations for the Heart Walk, and Jennifer and Jassy coming for her birthday in October! Whoo hoo!

I Hate the Stock Market

The Dow keeps going down and down. Maybe we should rename it the Up.

Tom and I did the new annual First Day of School trip to Seaside on Wednesday. It was a beautiful day.

The beach was not very crowded, but there were people out and I thought of my school chums and mentally wished them all a good day.





We got home and went to Prospectors to dance. We bumped into some old friends, but there weren't any teacher friends out. I am thinking they will be back after the returning rush of responsibility and reorganization settles down.

On Tuesday, I met up with Sandy and Bob and Joanne at the BCEA Office for lunch. It was like old times...we almost broke into a meeting!









Thursday was my first H & R Block tax class. It was interesting once I got there. (It only took me 50 minutes for what turned out to be the 20 minute away location! Oy, don't ask!)

Thursday evening I went to the viewing for Dick Hummell in Burlington. All the Hummells and related family and friends were there. They had so many photos....a lot of nostalgia of yesteryear.

I have signed up for the Contact training and some golf tips too, so this should be a pretty busy Fall for me! And, of course, Tom has golf and bowling and we both have the gym for work out purposes and dancing for fun.
